Boys are outfitted for Christmas!!!

As you can see here, I didn't make the shirts this year. I just didn't have time. I couldn't find one in a store in Little Little Man's size, so I ordered one to be sent to his house. So, I just photographed his outfit without a shirt. I forgot to tuck the tie in. Oh well.

The pants are a very, very soft houndstooth check. I'm almost sure it is the same fabric, except in brown rather than black, that I made Big Little Man's coat from last year. The coat is brown fake suede. I lined the coat with a satin lining that I had in my stash. The sweater vests are made from an XL man's sweater that I bought for $14. I couldn't find what I wanted already made, didn't have time to really look, and didn't have time to knit

The above photos show Little Little Man's suit. The photos below show Big Little Man's suit. LLM is one now, and walking!!! BLM is 3 1/2, almost! They are growing up!!!

Our little Miss R is 6 today. She's the one who got the pink ruffled dress for Christmas. I posted about it a couple of posts back, if you want to see it. I posted about some other things I made for her birthday in my last post.

About Me

I am a grandmommma who loves to sew. I also love any creative outlet that I can express myself in, such as painting, drawing, sherenshnitte, and writing. I am the "baby girl" of my mother who is in a nursing home. I wish I could get into her head to understand what is going on in there sometimes. I will reflect upon my observations, therefore, using this as a therapy of sorts for myself.
